The author's diary of ghost stories

Well, she also has the moon in her eyes.

The terrifying and seductive moon.

Can't look up, can't look up.

So Yu Liang quickly lowered his head and controlled himself not to look into Xu Cixi's eyes.

However, when he lowered his head, he noticed that the paper man holding his head had fallen down.

The paper man in the air grinned strangely at Yu Liang, with bloodshot eyes similar to Xu Cixi's.

Immediately, the paper man turned into a white light and re-entered the universe, a bit like a forced return after losing all its San points.

——

Paper Man (Moonlight Syndrome)

Gradient: T4

Ability: None

Note: Patients with moon syndrome cannot be reactivated temporarily.

Looking at the character cards of the two paper figures in the universe, Yu Liang could tell that the paper figure was tricked because he raised his head and saw the moon in her eyes.

And it has a faint tendency to be controlled by the moon.

Yu Liang knew that he could no longer let the paper man hold his eyes to convey illusions. He didn't even know when and why the paper man fell into the trap. If the paper man was under the control of the moon and delivered the image of the moon to his mind, middle……

He may also suffer from moon syndrome.

This time it is completely different from the last time the paper man grew rabbit ears. Its character card has already given a hint of the abnormal state. It is not that this paper man is naughty and imitating a monster.

At this time, Xu Cixi also completely stopped her body, but her tears were still falling continuously. At the same time, her somewhat weak sobs sounded in the living room.

"Why did you leave me?"

"I'm so lonely."

"I miss you so much……"

"Come back and stay with me."

"Just a little while, as long as you stay with me for a little while."

Listening to these words, Yu Liang became more certain that the crying sound was the deliberate disguise of the monster in reality.

The purpose was to lure him into looking into her eyes.

If you are a normal person, if you see your relatives or friends burst into tears, you will definitely look into their eyes uncontrollably.

And as long as he sees the full moon in the other person's eyes, he will fall instantly.

Wait, that full moon?

Yu Liang suddenly felt something was wrong.

When he thinks about the moon in the other person's eyes, a light blue, white full moon will appear in his mind corresponding to the thought.

Normally when you think of the moon, what comes to mind is not the full moon but a small crescent, right?

Just like the starry sky that I often drew when I was a child, the moon in the sky is often smaller than half, not full.

Today is the sixth day of October. The moon outside is probably in its first quarter, and it will be a relatively standard half-moon shape.

He looked again at the monster standing in front of him.

What's slightly reassuring is that the monster doesn't seem to be able to break the barrier between the mirror and reality.

She couldn't find him.

But she knew he was here.

The "Xu Cixi" in the mirror is just reproducing the actions of "Xu Cixi" in reality.

The most careful thing is the moon.

That moon is very likely to be the true form of the root ghost story, so its power can easily break through the barrier of the mirror. Even if you see its true appearance in the mirror world, you will still be in crisis.

He suspected that people who saw the moon might be controlled by the moon and turn into similar monsters.

At the moment when he lowered his head, Yu Liang also noticed that there were faint traces of burns and corrosion on Xu Cixi's pale right hand.

scald?

This hand was the one that came over to open the door to his room.

Can she separate parts of her body?

When he realized this detail, Yu Liang also noticed that the traces of tears seemed to have changed.

The tears used to fall in a regular pattern, but now they seemed to be mixed together and falling in large swaths.

yes……

Xu Cixi's head also separated.

Through the shadow in the white moonlight on the ground, Yu Liang clearly saw the head of the woman in front of him fly away from her body and wander around the living room casually.

Her eyes wandered around the living room, searching for his eyes with the reflection of the moon.

Then, as if he noticed something, his head quickly dived down and raised his head close to the ground.

Yu Liang quickly closed his eyes to avoid the two of them looking at each other.

"However, now I can sense your position." The head cried out in surprise, and then said with a little anger, "I found you!"

Her hands suddenly stretched out and she hugged Yu Liang beside her.

At the same time, the head flew towards Yu Liang's approximate position, along with the moon in his eyes.

Yu Liang lowered his head. When the head shouted, he also anticipated the crisis at this moment. Xu Cixi blocked his way out of the room, and the head was also flying here.

He tossed a silver coin and at the same time switched to gambler Lu Baoshen.

Lu Baoshen also lowered his head, then activated his ability and switched to Lu Mingzhe.

"At the critical moment...you have to rely on me." Lu Mingzhe sighed arrogantly and activated [Thousand Techniques].

The character "Mu" flew towards the silver coin that Yu Liang had just thrown. At the same time, he switched the positions of the silver coin and himself, and his figure instantly appeared a few meters away, leaving Xu Cixi, the mirror image of the original place, to only catch a piece of air.

After doing all this, Lu Mingzhe saw a trace of long black hair in his peripheral vision.

It's the head.

Without thinking, he grabbed the long hair of the head, and then quickly ran out of the room and rushed to the corridor, swinging it quickly as if he was controlling a meteor hammer.

Lu Mingzhe looked left and right, randomly chose a direction and trotted away quickly.

After entering the corridor, Lu Mingzhe looked at the head spinning in his hand with confidence, because there was no moon in the corridor, and there was no moon in "Xu Cixi's" eyes either.

Naturally, "Xu Cixi" couldn't stop there. Bloodshot eyes appeared in her eyes, spreading out of her eye sockets, and she made a sharp neighing sound.

"Isn't this a mirror image?" Lu Mingzhe was suddenly surprised, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all. Instead, he sped up the speed of shaking his head.

The bloodshot eyes emerging from the eye sockets rotated together with the head. The "head" with a completely confused sense of direction was just helpless and furious. These bloodshots could not find the direction of Lu Mingzhe at all.

"It's probably the instinct of this mirror body." Yu Liang guessed.

"This way...Li Huachao, use the thunder symbol to make her be more honest." Lu Mingzhe responded, and then said to Li Huachao in the universe, "Since there is no subject consciousness, the supernatural system of T1 is not as good as the flesh and blood system of T2, then It's your turn to bully it, maybe you can tame this mirror body."

"Of course, I know." Li Huachao chuckled.

After making the suggestion, Lu Mingzhe escaped into the universe and replaced Li Huachao. The first thing Li Huachao did when he "arrived" was to look back at the "headless corpse" staggering after him, then he made a face and continued running forward. .

Slipping monsters or something...

Of course he is familiar with this.

It can be said that there will not be any Kaitan player who is more familiar with it than him.

At the same time, Li Huachao also took out the "Thunder" character and placed it in front of the head. The head immediately calmed down, but it seemed that because she was too close to the "Thunder" character of Zhiyang Zhigang, the skin on her face kept growing half Transparent blister.

These blisters appeared and subsided quickly, causing "Xu Cixi's" face to constantly switch between "disgusting" and "beautiful".

Yu Liang listened to the conversation between the two people, and then recalled that Lu Mingzhe just reached out and grabbed his head and ran away without hesitation. He always felt that Lu Mingzhe seemed to be gradually turning into a Li Huachao.

this……

Not so good?

At this time, the mirror image body that had lost its head suddenly went crazy and began to destroy the surrounding walls indiscriminately. The sharp claws continued to scratch the wall, and the wall dust mixed with red powder fell to the ground.

"Cough——" Yu Liang felt as if his body had been hit hard, and his ability [Universe] was forcibly stopped. After switching back to his original body, he couldn't help spitting out a small mouthful of blood.

This guy actually knows how to actively destroy the mirror world to make me bite back?

When will mirror bodies also have this kind of intelligence?

Yu Liang threw the head directly back to the body, turned around and ran towards the end of the corridor.

After the head returned to the neck of the mirror image headless corpse, it began to imitate the body in the real world again.

The real body seems to be able to sense Yu Liang's aura and runs towards Yu Liang, while the mirror body imitates exactly the same and rushes towards him in the same way.

Yu Liang switched to Li Huachao and asked Li Huachao to turn around and run away, while he himself fell into thinking.

Now he has some confirmation.

This "Xu Cixi" is not normal!

She was aware of his abilities, from the beginning.

To be precise, she has a certain understanding of his ability to control the prison mirror, so she can formulate simple traps based on this, and she can also carry out countermeasures.

However, she didn't fully understand his abilities, because if she knew every one of his abilities, she wouldn't have let Lu Mingzhe switch places and run away just now.

Yu Liang remembered the first message she sent.

"I'm Xu Cixi who came back from the next day. Just stay where you are and don't move. I'll come find you."

I came back from the second day.

The next day, this means that she has probably met him on the first day, and it is precisely because of this that she can know his ability about the prison mirror.

And just now she also said that now she has the ability to sense him...

Is this a response to the mutated evolution that occurred when he hid in the mirror?

That……

A terrible hypothesis suddenly came into Yu Liang's mind.

If it is really as he thought, then once today is over, this "Xu Cixi" will return to today from tomorrow, that is, from the "third day", and still go back to find the self who just entered the dungeon. .

The text message would also change to "I am Xu Cixi who came back from the third day...", and the person caught was still him who had only entered the dungeon for a few seconds.

This time he escaped with the help of Lu Mingzhe's [Thousand Skills]. "Xu Cixi" already knew about his method. Just like facing herself in the prison mirror, she might do the same on the "third day" Make corresponding evolutions to restrain his abilities.

It is conceivable that he should have hid in the mirror and escaped on the "first day", because this was his subconscious reaction at the time.

So the "next day" she evolved the means of sensing his position in the mirror.

It's very tricky.

There was a slight chill in Yu's conscience. What made him despair was not the current "Xu Cixi", but the future "Xu Cixi".

Maybe Xu Cixi, who returned from the "Third Day", would still let him escape. After all, he had many special means, but she would continue to evolve, and at that point in time, he would always only have these means.

The means will eventually run out, and she will eventually evolve enough to capture him with ease.

In the past, he knew nothing about this and would still try to escape by first escaping into the mirror world and then using Lu Mingzhe's [Thousand Techniques].

In other words, he is like an NPC with fixed routines, while "Xu Cixi" is like a real player. After studying his routines, he takes countermeasures, constantly learns and evolves himself, and finally defeats him as an NPC. .

Once my past self was blocked and caught by her in the room, and she failed to escape from the room...

What will happen to him now?

The possibilities leading to the future will collapse quickly. At this moment, he should continue to be "caught" and either die directly or be imprisoned by her in that room.

Either way, he doesn't want it.

No, you can't show too many tricks in front of her, at least don't let her learn too much "the next day", otherwise it will be harder for you to escape next time.

Yu Liang realized the seriousness of this discovery, so he switched back to himself and controlled his body to escape.

He didn't even slow down the flow of time in the world in the mirror, even though he could easily escape the pursuit of the monster behind him.

In order for him to escape successfully next time, he must show his abilities as little as possible.

The only thing he was thankful for was that she was only back "the next day", so he still had some time left.

He should have been able to hold on a few more times in the past, and every time he held on a few more times would give him an extra day.

Taking advantage of the extra time, he must quickly find the monster's true weakness and eliminate it, or make her stop targeting him.

This is a ticking time bomb, and you never know when it will explode.

Yu Liang sighed in his heart.

And this is not the root of the mystery.

It's just a T1 supernatural creature.

Was it this difficult from the beginning?

Kill in person?

No, it wasn't a face-to-face killing. He now suspected that it was a strange creature he encountered while exploring on the "first day".

hiss--

Maybe it wasn't his fault?

Is it Li Huachao's fault?

Yu Liang suddenly felt that he had found the right answer.

At this time, he also ran to the corner of the corridor. There was a map here. To be precise, it was the structural diagram of the safe passage. It was the internal plan of the building, and some special locations were marked.

It would take some time for the monster behind him to catch up with him, so Yu Liang also took a rough look at the map.

This building has a total of twenty floors, of which the second to twentieth floors are residential areas. The first floor is a supermarket, the underground floor is a parking lot, and the second underground floor is a funeral parlor.

funeral parlor?

Does a normal building have a funeral parlor attached to it?

Yu Liang didn't have time to think deeply, so he just asked Li Huachao in the universe: "Where do you want to go?"

If it was really Li Huachao who caused the trouble on the "first day", then it is time for Li Huachao to choose where to go next.

Because the location chosen by Li Huachao is most likely the "birthplace" of the monster behind, it will be easier to find a way to deal with her by going to that place.

At this moment, Li Huachao didn't know that he had become a scapegoat in Yu Liang's heart. He replied without thinking:

"Of course it's a funeral parlor. There's a lot of fire there, there's definitely not a lot of nefarious things there, and it's very safe."

Yu Liang: "..."

Now it's really certain.
